One thing I always remember as to why the Remake is inferior would be Tower of Latria level. Not only are the colors worse, but it also changed one key aspect that made the level the way it is: the music. The singing tune you hear is supposed to only play once you've reached a certain point, giving players a small sense of comfort when they finally reach it. In the Remake, it's the first thing you hear so the prison level doesn't feel like a prison at all.
